Chapter 485: Snow on the Mountain, Bright Candles in the South
The news that Mingnan, a disciple of Yuan Ying of Chengtian Sect, had achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven spread like wildfire overnight.
The whole world knew about the great achievements of her master and his disciples. In a short time, Chengtian Sect became famous, and the gate of the mountain was blocked by those who came to ask for advice.
Many people also spontaneously built ancestral halls and temples for the immortal masters who died in that battle and worshiped them every day.
But they didn't know that the Immortal Lord Mingnan, whom they admired and loved, was being confined in the Immortal Palace.
Ten years passed in the mortal world, and it was just getting dark in the ninth heaven.
Mingnan sat under the glass tree in the yard, looking at the flowers that were as beautiful as ice crystals, and yawned expressionlessly.
205 sighed: [Host, you are so awesome. You contradicted the Emperor of Heaven on the first day of your ascension and were punished to face the wall. You are the only one in history, right? ]
"Maybe." Mingnan held up his chin with one hand, raised the Samsara Mirror and looked around boredly.
205 Seeing her like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed in surprise: [Could it be that you had a fight with the Emperor of Heaven, and then your immortal bones were removed and you were sent down to the mortal world to survive the calamity? ]
Considering what Mingnan said before about opposing Tiangang, the more it thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable.
Mingnan shook his head with a smile, "It would be a shame if you don't use your imagination to write a novel."
She changed the subject, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, "But, it's almost the same."
205: [Ah? You really did it?!]
"Yes, but not against the Emperor of Heaven."
205: [Is that with the Queen?]
Mingnan: "...No, it's with Tiandao."
She pondered for a long time before telling the story.
In her previous life, after she ascended to heaven, she was also led to the Heavenly Palace by a fairy boy to receive instruction from the Emperor and Empress of Heaven.
They talked over and over for a long time, but to Mingnan it was nothing more than four big words: Heaven is supreme.
They have to do whatever the Heavenly Law tells them to do, and they cannot do whatever the Heavenly Law forbids them to do. Those who go against the Heavenly Law will never be reborn.
In his previous life, Mingnan was a straightforward person who could not hide his thoughts and did not like to beat around the bush. He asked the Emperor and Empress of Heaven directly, "When there is a disaster in the human world and lives are dying, if Heaven does not allow it, can we just stand by and watch?"
The Queen of Heaven said: "All natural disasters are punishments from heaven. Heaven will not allow it, and no one can interfere."
The Emperor of Heaven said: "The Way of Heaven is the highest principle in the world, and it has its own set of rules for operation. If we interfere with it casually, the consequences will be disastrous."
Mingnan asked back, "So, is there a precedent for going against the will of heaven? What are the consequences?"
The Emperor and Empress were stunned by the question and could not answer for a while.
Mingnan's face immediately changed, and he asked in disbelief: "So you are willing to abandon the lives of all the people in the world for the so-called illusory consequences?!"
The Emperor coughed and looked serious, "It's not that there is no precedent, but the precedent has been shattered and is no longer in this world."
The Queen of Heaven nodded, "At that time, it rained heavily and continuously for three months. The whole world was flooded. Mortals knelt down and begged God to open his eyes. A god could not bear to see this, so he arbitrarily dispersed the rain clouds, dug a canal to create a sea, and diverted all the water. He then used the bones of the gods to form a mountain to separate the sea and the land, saving countless lives."
"But do you know what happened to him?"
Mingnan asked: "What?"
The Queen of Heaven sighed, a look of superiority and pity flashed across her face, "When he was weak after his divine bone was extracted, the heavens sent down a thunderbolt that struck him to death, shattering even his soul. It has been ten thousand years, and he has not yet entered the cycle of reincarnation."
The Emperor of Heaven looked at Mingnan's face and asked, "So, are you afraid now?"
Mingnan did not answer but asked: "Then why did I ascend to heaven when I sacrificed myself to seal the flood?"
"You are a mortal, fighting against natural disasters with your mortal body, which is a great merit. He is a divine monarch, nurtured by the way of heaven but not following the rules, which is against heaven. You cannot be compared." The Queen of Heaven frowned and said, "Now your identity is different. If you interfere with the way of heaven again, he will be a lesson for you."
After saying this, the two of them stared at Mingnan, trying to see fear and retreat on her face.
The results were all failures.
Mingnan was not frightened at all, and even asked them, "Is that all?"
The Emperor was stunned: "What?"
"Is the punishment just to shatter the souls of those who defy the will of heaven?" Mingnan smiled, his eyes clear and firm with a hint of sarcasm, "If my life can bring peace to the whole world, then my death is a worthy one, why should I be afraid?"
"you……"
The Emperor and Empress were choked by her and could not speak for a long time.
Mingnan glanced at the heavenly palace with its carved beams and painted buildings and the aura of immortals, and said disappointedly, "I thought that after practicing and attaining enlightenment, I would ascend to heaven and be worshipped by the people. I should take peace in the world and happiness of all living beings as my responsibility. I never thought that the so-called immortals are nothing but a group of selfish, timid people."
"How dare you!" The Emperor of Heaven was furious. "You are just an immortal who has just ascended to heaven. Who gave you the courage to speak so arrogantly in the Heavenly Palace?"
Mingnan has been through the gates of hell before, so why would he be frightened by these words from the Emperor of Heaven?
She immediately retorted, "It's just the facts. Do you need the courage to speak out?"
The Emperor of Heaven was furious, and the Queen of Heaven was afraid that a fight would break out if they continued talking, so she had Mingnan taken away and punished her to face the wall for a hundred years to reflect on her mistakes.
Mingnan was too lazy to argue with them. It was just right that the door was closed. She didn't want to deal with these hypocritical people.
But just three days after she closed herself off, there was another unusual movement in the sky.
On the third night, the entire palace suddenly shook violently, waking her up.
She put on her clothes, stood up and rushed out of the palace, only to see the stars flowing backwards, the void shattered, and a big hole appeared at some point in time.
Balls of fire from the sky descended from it and flew towards the human world.
Without thinking, she rushed out of the palace.
The immortal soldiers guarding the palace gate tried to stop her, but she simply knocked them back with a palm.
Most of the immortal soldiers are descendants of the immortal race and were born in heaven, but their strength is far inferior to that of the immortal kings who ascended, so they can't stop Mingnan at all.
Mingnan flew all the way to Guanyuntai.
Guanyuntai is located in the south of Tiangong. In the center is a well, through which one can see what is happening in the human world.
It just so happened that she lived in the south, so she arrived the earliest.
She stood at the edge of the well and looked down. She saw that wherever the heavenly fire passed, it instantly turned into a sea of fire. People fled in all directions, countless people were killed or injured, and the wailing and wailing shook the sky and the earth. In the blink of an eye, the world turned into a purgatory.
…
【Ah? What happened next?】205 asked uncomfortably.
Mingnan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "If you want to hear what happened next, please listen to the next chapter."
205: [? ? ? ]
205: [You'll be struck by lightning if you stop talking halfway! 】
"Don't worry." Mingnan lowered his eyes and looked at the tightly closed red lotus inside, and said nonchalantly: "When the time comes, you will naturally know."
205 is even more confused, [Do we need to pick a date to talk about the follow-up? ]
Mingnan smiled meaningfully and did not answer.
